last episode in season one! this is a slashy episode which i think leans slightly towards the established relationship side of the force. i have refrained from recapping a few suggestive scenes for reasons of plot, space, etc.
it is also significant for a couple of other reasons: (1) we find out jim has an older brother, who shows up unexpectedly dead, and we see jim's reactions to this grief in moments of crisis. (2) spock is blinded, and at the time, we don't know that it's temporary.
dialogueless: ( a mysterious and freaky alien organism flies through the air and attaches itself to spock's spine, and they pry it off while he thrashes in pain and panic. )
annotated: ( gee, what DOES the sun do? )
( background for the final scene. )
dialogueless: ( spock is blind. )
annotated: ( slashy and friendshippy kirk-spock-mccoy closer. )
bonus! panty line, lack of personal space, weird faces, dorky goggles. ( +13 )
the whole gallery is here. a handful of the individual pictures won't load--i think this is an lj server issue, but i could be wrong.
also, there's a not-to-be-missed story set during this episode. and in darkness bind you by greywolf the wanderer is an angsty and solemn spock-pov first-time, and a spackle. i consider it a classic of the genre. i think it's safe to say that greywolf is a classic for the pairing, too. spock point of view is sort of his specialty (and it's very good, though weirdly talkative and unorthodox in places). i find his kirk often rings false for me and i think it suffers from a slight plot flaw, but the story is beautiful.
